Key points from article :
University of Utrecht finds that cycling 74 minutes per week increases life expectancy by 6 months.
Mortality rate reduced by 10% resulting in 6500 deaths prevented each year.
Claim 1 hour cycled is 1 hour extra life.
Here’s how I assume the calculation works:
74 minutes = 1.2 hrs
Cycle every week for 70 years = 1.2 x 52 x 70 = 3640 hours
6 months = 4380 hours
Looks like a good investment!
